Change of plan ~ dramatically....

An altered bad news came from the paint-man~ hoho, one week back~ @_@ i wasn't able to upload any photo to blogger this whole week~! darn malaysia's connection.

So this is the news,
the passenger side's body line was slightly curved-in, maybe due to excesses welding and re paneling.
The roof of mango was slightly angel-ed, like 5~7 degree at the point of it's center-beam. A sign of he might been had a heavy fall onto drain or something hard hit underneath.
things was slightly better, but still there's some de-formation on the roof as well.

So, after much discuss with my paint-man, he advised that i paint mango in mat black, it will covered up the deformity, at least.... So, i'll keep mango's current tune setting but will added a bit of comfort to it~ :P (air-con and some audio) hoho~

Finally at the paint-job shop~

Show some first~ ^^
side mirror on already~
a bit of mango's butt~ really look like AE86~ :P
side by side with No-2~

Mango's final inspection on body work.

Just come back from checking mango's work detail for the last time. Just to make sure there's no over shoot work or un-welded panel. The only additional panel which had been added is the reinforcement of the pan-hard rod's bracket.
This should make sure it won't bend or wobble during high-speed cruising.
Finally all the body widening panel was in place and blend-in with the body slim line~ hoho~

look at the arch from a nother angle. Only some minor adjustment remain and mango was expected to be picked up on friday afternoon~ 

T_T which means a few ~K~ of $ gonna be falling out of my wallet by then *_*

No-2 is taken home... (not yet)~

I run away from work for a day just to pick up No-2 from the workshop in Bidong. By the time i arrived at bidong with the carrier, they still haven put on the front suspension so i can drag it up the carrier. So i had to wait under the scorching sun *_*~
While they putting on the thing and the front steering, guess what they did without the dash-board+bracket to hold on the steering~
Typical old-school workshop would do, tying it up using wire~! lol~ then the loading process start~
half way up the carrier, a nother unexpected even happen-ed. The cheap-lak muffler was grinding on the tarmac.... and a peek under the car guess what we found out~! NO SPRING! darn the so call brother of the previous owner had taken the spring~! 
So a lot of man power had to used to lift the rear to clear off the ground/muffler~ you can see a clear white line dragging on the ground~ ^.^ and after some really tense struggling, No-2 was on the carrier, yet the driver stated another concern... No hand-brake... he said the car would swing left and right without the hand brake. So as the result, he can't drive fast on the return trip.
And on the way back, we were going like 70km/h all the way till NT. and the funny part is the rear boot pop up when the carrier overtaken by a trailer~ lol~ the win pressure actually push the boot up even though it was without the rear glass on~ No-2 will be on going a full paint job at Ah Heng's place and prep for installing all the basic parts for my beginner drifting lesson in Batu Kawan.  

Some minor adjustment~

Though mango's chassis rework is almost completion, but since it's fully hand-made so there's quite a few minor adjustment work had to be attend to.
And it's not an easy task as well~ just altered a small portion on the top left on the arch like this~
to this already taken one day's work...... it shouldn't be long.... 7~9 working days will cover-ed everything......

i hopes~ (finger's crossed)
